Foreword

I am an enthusiast of early Russian records. Mainly pre 1917 records produced or recorded in Russia,
but also records from other countries with Russian music, Russian interpreters, composers, and Russian language,
including records from the culture of emigrants of the first half of the 20th century.

Therefore I maintain Russian-Records.com to present my collection to others.
It is open for other enthusiasts and absolutely non-commercial.
